We have great obstacles, slides, walls, water and lots of mud. Our courses are about the kids having fun and a great time.The course will be 2 distances 3km or 5km, you can just run the 3km or keep going and do the 5km, the choice is yours.

There is a minimum age of 15yrs for the Suffering V and all under 18 year old runners must run with their parent/guardian.
There will be a key drop at registration on a first come, first served basis.. Whilst we make every effort to keep everyones items secure, we cannot make guarantees and items are left at the owners own risk.
